Burger King's Divorce
Growing up money was never a problem. The worst thing I went through was my parents divorcing, which is nothing compared to what some people go through. Although I knew I was lucky and never thought of myself better than anybody I never really knew how lucky I was until I was 17 and decided to get a job. When I was getting ready for my first day at Burger King I expected to learn a few new things and meet a couple of people, but I had no idea that Burger King would mature me and make me realize how lucky I am. The first person I met was Matthew Wilder he trained me on my first day even though he is 2 years younger than me. Matt from the start was very open and explained how he lived with a foster family because he mom was on drugs his whole

    Gulf Coast Grill Experience Analysis

    Last weekend, I went to Suwanee, GA to see my father and stepmother because it had recently been my stepmother's birthday. In celebration we chose to dine out at a restaurant called Gulf Coast Grill. It was the first time my family had eaten at the restaurant, but will not be the last. Once stepping inside, I knew it was going to be interesting because the restaurant had a very strong beach theme as well as a live band playing. After being told it was going to be a fifteen to twenty minute wait, I was surprised when our table was called after less than ten. The restaurant experience was already off to a good start, and only continued to get better.…

    Working At La Vita's II Pizzeria

    Before working at La Vitas II, I used to work at shop rite as a cashier. Even though a cashier and a waitress are very different, I know I learned a lot from there that I still use today as a waitress. Being a cashier at a super market makes you learn a lot about dealing with people on a day-to-day basis. Not everyone is good at working with the public because people can be very rude and most of the time you can’t say anything back, you just need to smile and work the situation out to make the customer happy.…

    Everybody has its own life story, all of them are different, everybody has ups and downs in life but it depends on the individual how will the future go. I was born and raised in a great family, and never had a problem affording anything. I have had strict parents and I was taught of the basic propriety and to be always respectful with others.

All the traditions my family has are important to be kept, the place where I grew up will always bring back sweet memories and all the obstacles I got through shaped the person, I am right now.…

    Response to Shame

    I wasn’t born in a rich family but we had almost everything we needed. When I was in high school, my parents had to file a bankruptcy and we had to move to a studio which was a small room that has kitchen and bathroom in it. I had to share the room with my parents and my sister who was only 4 years younger than me. I didn’t even have money to pay school or for lunch. I had to get grant and help from school. I never had a pair of new shoes, cloth or a book. I had to wear a uniform that one of my friends’ brother used to wear. I didn’t even have a TV so I was alway left behind when my friends were talking about a TV show. But I never thought that I should ashamed of it. I asked to go out to a girl I liked. I never thought that I had to spend more money than my friends. A few years later we were out of debt.…

    Analysis: Inequality For All

    We live in a country where the wealthy become wealthier and the poor become poorer. Due to the functions of our economy, very few of us can become successful. I was luckily born into what was considered a middle class family. As time progressed, everything became more expensive. With the same salary that my family had, they had to pay for higher insurance costs, food prices, gas prices, and survival needs.…

    The Great Divorce

    The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis suggests that choices made on earth have a consequential effect towards our acceptance into heaven or our plummet into hell. In this book pride manifests itself in a hundred subtle ways as souls whine about perceived injustices or irrational motives. Thankfully, a few tourists do humble themselves, become transformed into marvelously real beings, and remain in heaven. But most don't, about which the great Scottish author George MacDonald, Lewis' heavenly guide, says, "They may not be rejecting the truth of heaven now. They may be reenacting the rejection they made while on earth".…

    High School Stereotypes

    I noticed as early as middle school that the ones who weren't as secure financially tended to study less than the ones whose families were well off. This bothered me to a point, for my family wasn't dirt poor, but we weren't rich, either. We had a normal house, two cars, both my parents had jobs and we were never hungry. My grades weren't perfect, but I managed to always get about the 3.0 grade…

    My Ethnicity Research Paper

    This has had a huge effect on me and my perspective of the world as to how much I can use it. My parents both were very poor when they were growing up often times working two jobs and going to school all at the same time. They really valued school and everything else that they were able to do because they worked very hard for their money. Being with their family was very important because that was something they could always rely on to make them feel better and in a sense always protected. Growing up with all of these opportunities definitely made my life a lot easier. I never had to really go on my own in order to something i wanted to my parent were alway able to afford my sports team, snowboarding hobby, and even my love for big 4x4 cars for trail blazing. Being able to afford more things allows us to live in a nice neighborhood where everyone was very friendly always willing to help their neighbors. I feel that some who have less tend to live in neighborhoods with different atmospheres therefor changing your whole view on life. This makes me realize how lucky I am to have parents who raised me with opportunity when they never had…

    My First Day at Work - Personal Narrative Essay

    When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get a job. Sure, it would be a good way to make friends and learn how to prepare myself for the real world, but for me, it was mostly about making my own money. Having to ask my parents for cash every time I needed some annoyed me, mostly because they’d always say no. Every time they did, I would always whine and complain about how different things would be when I had money of my own, how I would never ask them for anything, and so on. This wasn’t entirely true, but at the time it seemed like a smart thing to say. I must’ve applied to dozens of jobs, and when I finally got the email telling me that I needed to come down for an interview, I was excited. Sure, the job was only seasonal, but hey, at least I was finally going to have my own cash.…
